THE GRAND HOTELGolf Resort & Spa
Events At THE GRAND
A MAJESTIC SETTING FOR UNFORGETTABLE
EVENTS
As you cross the lush grounds of the Grand Hotel,
with 550 acres of moss-draped live oaks overhead
and brilliantly hued azaleas all around, it’s
apparent: meetings here are wonderfully different.
Shaped by 170 years of proud heritage and elevated by a
very contemporary statement of Southern hospitality,
there is an unforgettable quality that underpins our
renown as “the Queen of Southern Resorts.” Time slows
here in the most delicious way as you loosen your tie,
meander boardwalks and trace the marine air to the
picturesque Mobile Bay. This is a place apart, where
traditions are treasured—from the daily cannon firing
that nods to our rich military history to sweet tea, a
chorus of cicadas and the ever-present warm smiles
that epitomize Southern spirit at its best.
A SINGULAR BLEND OF CHARM, CONVENIENCE
AND PROFESSIONALISM
Those in the know have long gathered on the resort’s
private beaches of Alabama’s Gulf Coast to brainstorm,
celebrate, play and recharge. The Grand is an unrivaled
environment in which to host corporate conferences,
conventions, company retreats, executive offsites or
world-class receptions from 20 to 500. The resort enjoys
enviable proximity from many drivable metropolitan
areas, direct service from more than 23 cities served
by commercial airports in Mobile and Pensacola, while
nearby Fairhope’s private airstrip is perfect for chartered
or corporate arrivals. Once here, relax as our experienced
meeting planners anticipate every need, provide outstanding
AV support and business services, and lavish your group
with our signature attention to detail throughout your
stay. This is where bonds will be forged, deals will be
done and expectations will be exceeded.
MYRIAD SPACES TO INSPIRE SUCCESS
At The Grand Hotel every guest is welcomed like
an old friend. We understand that every group has its
own personality; so too, do the many indoor and outdoor
venues throughout the property that have enchanted
guests for generations. With more than 37,000 square
feet of well-conceived meeting and function space, we
can seamlessly accommodate and configure environments
for large gatherings and smaller breakout sessions. The
impressive Grand Ballroom, which opens to a bay-facing
terrace with sweeping views, allows guests to share
ideas al fresco, while the Magnolia and Azalea ballrooms
perfectly host more intimate retreats. Scenic Julep Point
is ideally poised for outdoor receptions cooled by bay
breezes and enlivened by panoramic, papaya-tinted
waterfront sunsets. During mildly brisk months, toast
your colleagues with a hand-crafted cocktail at the
Sky Lounge with its crackling fireplace. After an
adrenalin-charged day, retire to 405 elegantly appointed
rooms, bayfront suites and a lavish Presidential Suite.
ACCOMPLISH GOALS, THEN SET OUT
FOR ADVENTURE
At The Grand, when a successful day wraps, dynamic
coastal excursions beckon. Active guests can tee off
at two championship courses on the famed Robert
Trent Jones Golf Trail, set sail for bay fishing, play
tennis or try stand-up paddle boarding. Others can
indulge gentler pursuits such as horseshoes, poolside
relaxation and unwinding in the posh seclusion of a
20,000-square foot, pampering-filled spa. Beyond our
grounds, explore the eminently walkable, artistic
community of Fairhope, recognized as one of the most
charming small towns in America, with its own French
Quarter, numerous bistros, antique stores and boutiques
that encourage casual team-building. The luckiest guests
may encounter the annual Monarch butterfly visitation, or
experience the phenomenon known as Jubilee in the only
place in the country where crab, fish and shrimp spill from
the bay, ready to be scooped up by seafood lovers.
SAVOR EVERY FARM-TO-FORK BITE
Eating well is unquestionably the grandest of the
Southern arts. With three onsite restaurants, our
talented chefs curate inventive breakfast, lunch,
break and dinner menus that spotlight locally sourced
ingredients, from pork sausage to stone ground grits,
pimento cheese to pecan-studded desserts, and, of
course, the briny bounty of Alabama seafood including
just-pulled-from-the-bay oysters. Classic recipes are
reinvented for modern palates and complemented by
seasonal herbs from our Hotel Garden, and a bumper
crop of local farm-fresh produce. For those who want to
recreate Grand tastes at home, the monthly Beverage
and Culinary Academies teach guests how to do ‘cue
like a pro or stir up a savory gumbo.
A GRAND MILITARY TRADITION
Since opening its doors in 1847, The Grand Hotel’s
identity has been inextricably linked with a proud heritage
of military service. With a strategic location on Mobile Bay,
The Grand has played a pivotal role in defending our nation
as a vital military staging site, and its ties to American
freedom span two centuries and two wars. Standing
as a hospital during the Civil War and later as host
to key training operations during World War II, this is
hallowed ground. It was here, on the sands of Point Clear,
where Allied forces finest trained in Operation Ivory Soap,
a classified military operation that played a vital part in
World War II’s final push. Each day, the Grand Hotel honors
its wartime history, concluding with a cannon firing on the
edge of Mobile Bay. From American presidents, to world
leaders, to generations of patriots, The Grand will eternally
be revered as a national destination, rich in wartime history,
a hotel that embodies the best traditions of this country.
